I want a hippopotamus for Christmas A hippopotamus is all I want I don't want a dog or rhinocerous All I want for Christmas is a hippopotamus And a hippopotamus wants me too
I want a hippopotamus for Christmas A hippopotamus is all I want I don't want a dog because a dog's such a fuss All I want for Christmas is a hippopotamus And a hippopotamus wants me too
I can see me now on Christmas morning Creeping down the stairs And because I looked surprise When I open up my eyes I see a hippo hero standing there
I want a hippopotamus for Christmas A hippopotamus is all I want I don't want a dog or a rhinocerous All I want for Christmas is a hippopotamus And a hippopotamus wants me too
